We mentioned it just yesterday but now it’s available – the £35 goodybag from giffgaff. It joins the existing £10 golden goodybag but, for £35, you get unlimited UK calls, texts and data.

Available right here, it’s 5G ready. Just set the purchase to “recurring” whilst and, if you need a SIM swap for a 5G ready SIM, you can get that online too. You should, though, check the O2 / giffgaff 5G coverage before diving in, as this is being rolled out still.

Head to giffgaff.com for more details.

NASA have selected Nokia to setup an actual mobile phone network on the Moon. Key points involve reducing power, size and cost whilst delivering reliable lunar surface communications with high data rates.

As part of a potential future sustainable human presence on the Moon, a super-compact, low-power, space-hardened, end-to-end self-configured 4G system will be prepared for late 2022. It’ll then be responsible for vital command and control functions, remote control of lunar rovers, real-time navigation and streaming of high definition video.

The solution involves a 4G Base Station with integrated Evolved Packet Core (EPC) functionalities, 4G User Equipment, RF antennas and high-reliability operations and maintenance control software. It’ll be rugged enough to withstand the harsh conditions of the launch and lunar landing, and to operate in the extreme conditions of space.

Let’s hope there’s unlimited data.

I’ve spent a couple of hours looking for a new SIM-only deal. I had one requirement – it had to be with Vodafone or one of the virtual networks (like Voxi) running on the Vodafone masts. This is because, in the areas I’ll be needing it, Vodafone is the strongest signal.

Of course, this is different for everyone, so always head to the Ofcom mobile coverage comparison to see who’s strongest in your area and the places you’re going to be the most. Check indoor coverage too, because with COVID-19, we’re all going to be inside most of the time.

You can also get a map to see how each network fares..

So, in the places I’m going to be the most, Vodafone is strongest. To get my Vodafone SIM-only deal, I Googled just that. You’ll end up on this Vodafone page, presented with some decent deals and 6 month half-price offerings which definitely looked interesting.

There was a lot of choice but the well-priced unlimited data plans were a bit unnecessary for my needs. The other data-limited plans were a little out of my price range and had extras that I didn’t need, so I ended up heading to the Voxi website instead.

I only needed about 12GB of monthly data and this Voxi deal seemed like the ideal solution. It was the one I was going to go for..

However, as I’m a bargain hunter, I went across to the Uswitch website to double-check and do some comparisons, and that’s where I found this 12GB data offering for the very same £10 price on Vodafone. Wait a minute, I hadn’t seen that on the Vodafone SIM-only pages?

Sure, the Voxi offering is better because it throws in unlimited social media, but in this particular case I chose to stick to Vodafone even though Voxi uses Vodafone masts. So, I headed to the Vodafone website to find the 12GB deal I’d found on the comparison site. I just couldn’t find it. I Googled, I Googled some more, but it was no-where to be seen.

Eventually, after going via a completely different website, I found it.

The deal is part of the Vodafone Basics range. This is a set of SIM-only deals which don’t deliver 5G and don’t deliver roaming. However, they are cheaper because of that. Here’s the differences…

Getting to these “Basics” SIM-only plans can be a bit tricky, so if you’re having trouble, head here to get the Vodafone Basics SIM-only deals.

Here’s a look at all of this in video….

As someone who’s in hospital for a few months, I can certainly attest to the hard work and dedication of the NHS staff. It isn’t just a job. I’ve seen doctors, nurses, HCA’s and everybody in-between caring, sharing, helping and listening. They work harder and longer than anyone I’ve ever met.

Now EE have extended their unlimited data offer for NHS Heroes until January 31st next year. Over 270,000 NHS staff have taken up the offer since the launch in early April, and those using it will continue to get unlimited data until next year. Meanwhile, new customers can register for the deal online with a valid NHS email address.

Marc Allera, CEO of BT’s Consumer Division, told us..

We want to show our continued support to NHS staff as pressures of Covid-19 remain. Extending our unlimited data offer will help NHS workers as they can easily keep in touch with friends and family, without worrying about their data. Along with the 20% discount we already provide, this is a thank you for NHS staff who work so hard to look after us all.
